Knight Frank is in talks to buy niche industrial practice C2G World.
The agency has been trying to bulk up its shed presence for some time but stepped up its efforts following the departure of former London head of industrial Mark Webster to Cushman & Wakefield in February.
C2G was set up in September 2003 by Charles Binks, Graham Prisk and Tim Peet.
Peet, who is a former deputy managing director of P&O’s logistics arm, is based in Suffolk, away from C2G’s Marylebone office.
Peter MacColl, head of investment at Knight Frank, would not comment on C2G but said: “We have a hole which needs to be filled. We are considering several options.”
C2G, which refused to comment, is currently advising developers such as HelioSlough and Gazeley.
